SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco pitcher Blake Snell didn't allow a baserunner through six innings Sunday against the Minnesota Twins before Manuel Margot got a hit in the 7th. Snell, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner who signed a $62 million, two-year deal with the Giants in the offseason, was seeking his first win in eight starts with his new team on Sunday. The 31-year-old Snell set a season high with eight strikeouts. Snell was trying to become the second pitcher in Giants history to pitch a perfect game. Matt Cain did it against the Houston Astros on June 13, 2012.
